Dani Alves's victim has identified one of his body inks, saying she was forced to perform fellatio on him in fresh evidence levelled against the Brazil international.
Since the news broke of Dani Alves involvement in a sexual assault case, reports seem to indicate that the former Barcelona star could be set for a lengthy spell in prison.
The 39-year-old Brazilian footballer, who last week was arrested by the Mossos d'Esquadra after a complaint of sexual assault against him, continues to accumulate testimonies against him waiting to testify again before the judge currently investigating the case.
While he remains in preventive detention, a new witness has emerged who pointed out against his actions at the scene of the alleged incident.

"The friend told the investigators that the Brazilian player was groping her violently and that he put his hand on her private parts until he managed to get out and get away, "said the aforementioned media.
However, this testimony also compromises Dani Alves, according to the Catalan newspaper, coincides with the statement of the victim, who had pointed out to the authorities some details of the behavior of the player of the Brazilian national team.
"I realized how he touched my friends and how close I was to them," said the victim in her statement - a 23-year-old girl who reported him for having abused her in the bathrooms of the VIP area of the nightclub.
The members of the Unit Against Sexual Assault (UCAS) of the Mossos d'Esquadra have reportedly been collecting evidence for almost a month.
Reports say they have managed to get a dozen people to testify about what happened that night, although in the last hours everything is focusing on the story of two young people – her cousin and a friend of both – who went with the victim to the disco in the first place.
